Many football fans and pundits are united in their view Luis Suarez should receive a lengthy ban for yet another apparent biting offence, but former England defender Danny Mills has gone a step further – insisting he should be ‘thrown in jail and locked up forever’.

Mills’ view may be slightly on the extreme side, but it does indicate how strongly fans feel about Suarez’s act, having already been banned twice for previous biting offences.

The Liverpool striker missed the early part of last season as he was serving the remainder of his 10 match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic and having appeared to sink his teeth into the shoulder of Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini yesterday, could face up to two years away from football.

But Mills wants even stronger action to be taken against the Uruguayan.

‘It has to be the longest ban in football ever. A worldwide ban, not just an international ban,’ he said.

‘It is the third time it has happened and it is a clear bite this time, in a tournament of this magnitude, the most watched tournament in the world. They have got to throw him in jail and lock him up forever.’
